My Looooong Weekend

Hello.

I have a LOT to write about my weekend! Here ye go:

Friday, me and mom went to the animal shelter (I'll post pics on another post *wink*). In the front little pen, were 5 puppies and they were soooo cute!! (their all boys, FYI) Well, I think all pups are cute :D. Anywhoo.. I have scratches (and a lil bit o' sun burn) all over both of my arms, and a scratch on my lip from them pups. They have SHARP claws!! Their claws are sharper than their teeth are!! Gina (the animal shelter lady) said that someone had dropped them off on the side of the road, and they just had to take 'em. I don't blame them! I'd take 'em too!

Here are the names I gave the pups:

Jack (sorta a tough guy name)- The small golden bully

Colby(3rd fav guy name)- The small golden biter (with black along her back bone and tail)

Jessie(4th fav guy name)- black with white markings and a little bigger than Jack and Colby. He also has a half tail.

Matt(2nd fav guy name)- the big fluffy black (with white markings) bob-tailed puppy

Willie(got the name from the Love Comes Softly series)- the biggest black, white, and brown puppy that gets picked on by the other puppies (namely Jack and Jessie). Also...my favorite :D

Jack & Jessie, although they are the smallest ones, they kept picking on Willie.....the BIGGEST one! Poor Willie...that's kinda why he's my favorite one. So, I picked up Willie, and sat down with him on a bench that was in their pen, so the other pups couldn't get him. I held Willie in my lap, and I petted the other 4 puppies, who had their front paws on the bench. A little later, Jack started to fight with Jessie, and Jack doesn't fight playfully. When Jack fights, he means BUSINESS. After a minute (probably less, idk), later Jessie started whining. So I tried to break them up, but Jack was biting on to Jessie's neck, and wouldn't let go, and I didn't want to hurt Jessie worse. That's when I noticed blood on both of the pups faces!! So I ran to the office where mom and Gina were. I told Gina that two of the pups were fighting and bleeding some. So she's like, "*sigh* those puppies fight all the time" (or something like that, can't remember). When we got back to the pen, Jack and Jessie had stopped fighting. When we opened the gate, Jack was the first puppy we saw. He was the one beating up on Jessie, but HE was the only one that got injured! Gina realized it was worse than what she had pictured when I told her they were fighting. Jack's cheek had swollen up kinda big, and really quickly too, which worried Gina. His cheek also had blood all over it! She checked Jessie, and he just had a little bit of blood on his cheek and neck, and it didn't look like it was from him, but from Jack. Gina had to take him to the vet. She was surprised that his cheek had swollen up so quickly.

Later, when Gina brought him back, Jack's cheek was hardly swollen, and the blood was gone. She said when she got to the vet, Jack also had a fever! Really weird... Anywhoo.. Gina put Jack right back with the puppies, which surprised me. But, whatevs. Jack almost immediately tried to fight again! So, just like I did with Willie, I picked him up, and sat down on the bench with him in my lap. At first, he growled and tried to bite the other puppies who came over for attention. But I held on to him so he couldn't. When Gina walked past the fence, Jack would jump off my lap, and follow the puppies to the fence. But, the first two times he did that, he tried to get in some fights. So I had to put him back in my lap. After a while, he gave up on fighting. When I was petting him, he picked up his paw, and accidentally scratched me above my lip. That didn't feel to good.

My right arm has scratches all over it from Colby. He really likes to scratch and bite!

The worst conditioned dog there was Fisher. A shih-tzu. Some man found him on the side of the road. Fisher's nails hadn't been cut for like a year, and his nail's had like curled in complete circles! And her fur had been all matted, and her eyes were REALLY dry, so they looked...weird. But when I saw him (I think it's a him...) his nails had been cut to normal, and she barely had any fur, cause they had to get rid of all the matted stuff. She also had scabs ALL over her. I hope so badly she'll heal completely, and that she'll go to a great home. Me and mom wanna foster her when she's ready. We'll see..

Two of the dogs me and mom really like, were brother and sister Magoo and Malta. Terrier mix I think. They reminded us of the dog Bobby in the book "Greyfriars Bobby" by Eleanor Atkinson. We read part of the book, but never did finish it. Both dogs are really shy, and they get so scared, they pee whenever and wherever. Yeah. Gross, I know. Magoo is more shy than his sister Malta. I think their really pretty. I wanted to foster one, but Saturday they got adopted! Yea!

The animal shelter still has 3 Cocker Spaniels left from the time they rescued 27 of them from a breeder. Their names are Inga, Morgan, and Jada. Jada's my fav. She's ALWAYS happy, and always full of energy, and she's very hyper. INga & Morgan are reeally quiet, (and pretty) mostly Morgon, but Jada is the opposite. She was really hyper, running around, wagging her stub of a tail, and when she'd calm dopwn some, she'd hop inot my lap and sit there panting. I really want to foster her. :)

Zombie is what you call a gentle giant. He is a purebred big Rottweiler. He LOVES attention. He'll give me a paw, and jumps up (well, put's his front paws on) against the wall, to get more attention. He's so sweet and loving. And...big. Pretty big.

That night, me and Adam spent the night at our friends house (my friend: Shae(7) Adam's friend: Holt(13)). We went to a baseball park I guess you'd say (little league) to watch Amanda's (Tad(almost 17) and Reid's(15) friend) little brother play baseball. WELL...we didn't exactly WATCH it. We played baseball in another field. Me and Adam didn't really play much, we mostly just watched (I'm not that good at sports, but I wanna be!).

That night, at their house, Amanda and her friend Kat came over for a little while. We played tag a little bit, and when Reid wasn't looking, I stuck a frog (that had peed all over itself) down his shirt. :D That was fun. He said he'd get me back, but he hasn't yet.

Later, after Amanda and Kat had left, I was making a SKILLET sign (similar to the one I have at home), and Shae told me to give it to Tad, since he likes Skillet the most outta their family. So I wrote on the back that it was to Tad. Then Reid came in, and he said the he like Skillet more than Tad did, so I added his name to the back of the sign. Then I gave it to him, and he went out of the room to where Tad was playing a computer game, and Adam and Holt were playing video games. And Reid was like, "Tad! Look what Sarah made for you!" and I yelled back, "IT'S TO YOU TOO REID!!!" He ignored me and was like, "Sarah likes Tad!" or something like that, can't remember, and then I was like, "SHUTUP! NOT TRUE! AND SHAE TOLD ME TO GIVE IT TO YOU!!!!" And I never saw that piece of paper again..

Sunday, mom, Adam, and I (mom want's me to say it that way, and not: me, adam and mom, like I usually do *rolls eyes* WHO CARES ABOUT PROPER GRAMMER!!!!) went to my great-grandma's 84th b-day party. She lives in a retirement home FYI. It was pretty simple. Small room, and just cake and punch. Well, after me and and my second cuz Kaitlen ate a piece of cake, we saw quite a few dogs outside (with people of course). They were there to visit with the people at the retirement home. We saw them training them too. They laid down a BIG Mastiff, and a St. Benard on the ground, and the other dogs jumped over them. One dog jumped over the St. Benard, but didn't make it over the Mastiff. Instead, he LANDED on him! Lol. I got to pet the St. Benard and one touch of the Mastiff!! First time for me to pet a Mastiff.

Well, I guess that's it. Talk to you lata! *waves*
